Tracking Indicators (Outcomes) Legal, institutional or regulatory frameworks in target areas improved (e.g. road maintenance, debt management, service level agreement, state ownership policies, SOE oversight) Corporate governance improved (commercial practices in supported SOEs) Transport or energy network capacity improved or increased through Bank-assisted projects Number of individuals with improved access to services (e.g. IT, public transport and municipal services) Impact Indicators: Government effectiveness, Road connectivity, PUBLIC Well-Governed Integrated 14
